§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what sums have been allocated for research work upon auto-gyro machines during the present year?
§ Mr. MONTAGUEResearch work on this type of aircraft was provided for and is being pursued, but it is, not possible to state the precise allocation for this purpose; the provision for it is merged to a great extent in the estimate for general research, from which it cannot be segregated. The amount of expenditure must depend, of course, on the progress made.
